• Haiti

• Author Emily Will
• Published by Lucent Books

Haiti has become one of the poorest six countries on earth. Despite heroic beginnings -- this tiny nation was born of a successful slave revolt -- Haitians today struggle, against tremendous odds, for mere survival. The book chronicles Haiti's rocky history and outlines Haitians' current attempts to live with dignity.

Review:

"The book details the country's climate, geography, agriculture, industry, daily life in both rural and urban areas, and arts and culture. The book features maps, black-and-white photographs, and special boxes...The book's final pages offer a set of facts-at-a-glance, a detailed chronology, an annotated bibliography including works for both children and adults, an annotated list of works consulted (including web sites), and an index."
-- Multi-Cultural Review (March 2001)
